I love my Library swap!

Since you have assigned 2 partners, Swap-Bot will give us two partners to send to....you might want to change that if we are only supposed to have 1 Swap-Bot partner and send 1 to the library. Thanks for hosting....I think this is a wonderful idea!!

This is really, really sweet! Thanks for hosting such a cute swap. I do agree with preslarb though, you should probably change it to one partner!

This is a great swap idea! I'm watching for now, since it really does need to be changed to 1 partner.

Thanks everyone for letting me know that I had it listed as 2 partners. I got a bit carried away this morning! Also, I am sooo glad that people like this idea.

This is a wonderful idea! I'll see if I can find postcards of the National Library of Wales, which is in Aberystwyth, where I live.

That would be awesome! Though, if you cannot any postcards will do.

Thanks @Rainbowlicker for fixing the partner issue. I'm in, and I promo-ed your fantastic swap in my group forum :)

Thank you @wunderland I appreciate the exposure! Haha.

I am just curious..but would anyone be willing to make this a monthly swap where we choose different libraries to randomly send to?

I love my library and I'd love to join this swap.

I would totally do this as a monthly swap, that would be really sweet! :D

I thought so too. And we could take suggestions as to which library to send to next. I just think it would make some librarians very happy. Also, I have created a group to make it easier to keep track of the people interested in a monthly swap. Simply called: Library Lovers.

Love this! I'm a librarian and signed up for this site just so I can participate! :)

Where is the group? Sorry new to the site :)

So glad to be part of a library swap...free those resources! Can't wait to send my first post card.

We are happy to have you @asamland and @merribeth !

I love this idea, I tried to do this for our local library & they told me swapbot was a fake site, & noone will join it. Haha- I told them look at all the people on there as we are memebers & have been for over a year now, with good ratings, & alot of people would love to send other children pcs from alot of different places. For now this is on, watch, but I WILL be joining this swap, I love the idea complelty!

@BBQ I cannot believe they told you this was fake!! Haha. Well we are proving them wrong aren't we? Perhaps we could send to your local library next month?? Really show them what we are made of. Haha

I actually pulled the first card out of the mail yesterday at the library and my coworkers were ecstatic! They loved this idea. Thank you to everyone for joining!

Maybe we should send the first card to a library in Camden, NJ. This is so sad!

"New Jersey's most impoverished city will close all three branches of its public library at year's end unless a rescue can be pulled off. Camden's library board says the libraries won't be able to afford to stay open past Dec. 31 because of budget cuts from the city government. The city had its subsidy from the state cut." (AP)

This is an absolutely fabulous idea. And eepy, I think NJ would be a great place to send some library love.

I'm so excited. This'll be my first swap, and I've got my postcards and (comic book themed)stamps all picked out, ready to send!

Awesome @amoredilibri !! @eepy I would be happy to setup another swap like this one only sending the library cards to Camden, NJ Public Library.

I just finished my card for your library, Rainbow, and if you do another swap for Camden I'd be happy to send them one too.

I'm not just a library fan, I'm a library fanatic!

BRILLIANT swap, @Rainbowlicker I give Camden, NJ libraries my vote too. To think that hard-earned money being sacrificed as NJ taxes nets its citizens LESS funding for three (!) of their worst-supported libraries is appalling. Maybe it'll help jolt the state govt's sense of responsibility to its own people to know that even ppl as far away as Australia are sending in PCs of support! You know. If govts have any 'sense'. What a travesty!

Maybe we could be a group that helps raise awareness to save libraries threatened with closure.

@eepy and @papercaper I have created a second library swap. Same basic concept as this, with exception that they library we will be supporting is in Camden, NJ. Feel free to join!

And thanks to everyone for making this swap so successful! We are now in the top swaps!

I would LOVE to do this for my local library, because school here starts tomorrow, even though our son is homeschooled, I still support our library. Its just it really hurt me they refused to let me do this for them. Maybe when we move away this next year to a new state, the ywill let me do it at our local library there. WE maybe moving to Jamesort, Mo (an amish town, no not becoming amish, just want some peace & quiet, & away from my stupid inlaws!!)

I'm up for this being a monthly thing :) I've been a library volunteer since grade school!

I recently started volunteering at my library as the economy has caused some drastic cut backs here. My local library went from 27 employees to 12 and it happed all over the county. I hope to see this swap again.

@Rainbowlicker I dig this swap. Also, I wanted to say how much I love your name and that I love the PC you sent to my students.

@Karminandrea not a problem. It was your swap that actually had me think this up!! So thanks for holding such a wonderful swap yourself!

AH, a day late...my life story! Hoping for another one!

handmade postcards were mailed out today to my partners. enjoy!
